GUESS

GUESS

I guess it counts
as a comedy

albeit one
of grotesque proportions

me in my tiny cell
monk-like, drafting
page of page chockablock
full of strange improprieties

whilst the world
convinces itself
it has
to act under the imperative
of ridiculous warp and
crazy tangent

chasing that absurdly logic
punchline
where it knocks
itself out
delivering a healthy dose
of brain damage
beating up
on its own face.
